Turkey earned 493.5 million TL (310 million USD) last year from Istanbul bridges, which link Asia to Europe, and toll roads across the country that the government plans to privatize.

More than 146 million vehicles have passed over Istanbul's two bridges in 2008 and left nearly 160 million TL (100 million USD) to toll booths, Turkey's directorate-general for highways said on Wednesday.
